“The culmination of a prodigiously productive and important career.” -- Norman Mailer When the Chaimovitch family fled the Russian pogroms at the turn of the twentieth century, they did so hoping their family could flourish in, Eretz Yisroel, the land of their ancestors. Twenty years later, those dreams culminate when they send their youngest son and only Palestinian-born child, Mati, off to attend an American college. But the difficulties of their old lives in Russian are harder to shake than they thought. The rumblings of World War II have begun. Anti-Jewish violence reminiscent of the pogroms they fled erupts, claiming the life of their second-oldest son, Gidon. Mati returns home, bringing with him his new American Jewish bride Dena, to help his family deal with the sudden tragedy. Bridging the generations, and the old and new worlds, the Chaimovitch family will confront together the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust, ultimately leading to the triumphs and trials surrounding the creation of the Jewish state of Israel. Meyer Levin’s richly detailed story of heroism, love, loss, and dauntless courage concludes the sweeping epic begun in The Settlers, exploring the modern Jewish experience through the eyes of one extraordinary family.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Delightful read By Alyssa A. Lappen This 600-plus page novel picks up where its precursor (The Settlers) left off, and is every bit as true to history and loaded with delightful characterizations. One feels, reading this epic sequel on the settlement and development of Israel in the period after WWI through World War II, that one knows the people, and the places. One lives their emotional tumult.I seldom read novels, but picked up The Settlers last summer as a much-needed diversion, and found myself desperately wanting to know what happened to the characters with whom I fell in love.Highly recommended.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Better than Exodus By Gary Selikow This book-the sequel to The Settlers is exciting, intriguing and absorbing. From Russia to the United States to the Land of Israel to Nazi occupied Europe during the Holocaust, this book tells of the different terrains of struggle for the rebirth of the Jewish homelandNo wonder that Golda Mair and Robert Kirsch called the 'Jewish War and Peace'.Covers through the saga of one family the Jewish experience in America and the trials and tribulations of the pioneers who had returned to the Jewish homeland in Palestine.In the center of the novel is Mati Chamovitch, who returns from America where he has completed his education together with his American Jewish bride Dena.He arrives with the first Jewish owned airplane in Palestine.Covers the pogroms against Jews in the Holy Land in 1920, 1921, 1929 and the extended campaign against Jews in pre-state Israel by Arabs during the 1930sAlso encapsulates the finding of the Hagganah and the leadership of Orde Wingate, the opression of Jews in Israel by the British authorities and their support of Arab aggression, the horrors of the holocaust in Europe and fear of Nazi occupation of Palestine and how the Holocaust would have been spread to that country if the Axis had won in the Caucuses and North Africa.Also covers the early kibbutzim, the Ben Yehuda street bomb massacre and the bombing of the King David Hotel. The assassination by Lehi fighters of the the execrable Lord Moyne who had opposed the entrance to Israel of Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust in Europe saying 'What would I do with 1 million Jews'. Finally the heroic and successful resistance of the reborn Israel in the War of Independence, where the fledgling state lost a large part of it's population.Realistic and vivid with engaging characters and a knack by the author for capturing these events in history in novel formI think Harvest is better than Leon Uris' Exodus.

By Tasawuf This book, along with "The Settlers," also by Meyer Levin, provided me with a warm, insightful, yet detailed, background into the history of my recent ancestors. Against a backdrop of post WW I political intrigue, the discovery of massive oil deposits, as well as the early years leading up to and through WW II, we are treated to an indepth look at what shaped and led to the formation of the state of Israel.It clearly appears that the influx of highly motivated, eastern European Jewish immigrants was a huge catalyst for change through out the middle east, not just in the former, predominantly undeveloped, sparsely populated province of the Ottoman empire known as Palestine. Almost as important as the discovery of massive oil reserves, including the struggle by western European nations for their control.Given the fear, religious fundamentalism, tribalism, feudalism, as well as the poverty and isolation, if not desolation, of much of this land, it comes as no surpise that, when combined, one finds a deadly brew. Yet, in its midst, all of the people, hoped and prayed, lived and died, worked and adapted, laughed and cried, struggled and exulted...truly a warm human story centered around one family of Russian Jewish immigrants and their overcomings.This is important reading for those who wish to connect (reconnect).
